I think the problem is not that you are adding the docstring manually
but that you are adding them to instances. The doctest runner only
checks classes and functions for doctests.
However, I was looking through the doctest runner to verify this, and
I found a solution, which is not currently used anywhere in the
codebase. If you define a dictionary at the module level called
__test__ like
__test__ = {'R2': R2.__doc__, ...}
Then the doctest runner will test it. You can doctest any string with
this method. I'm sending in a small patch that fixes a minor semantic
about it, but the method seems to work just fine.
